25 xx The involvement of members of parliament has continued to date, with a report of the involvement of Elliott Manyika – Minister and MP – accompanying militia in attacks on MDC supporters during the strike in June. Here see the affidavit below: G.M. 27 year old Male from Glenview 1, Harare, Zimbabwe. I was at the house of an MDC Councillor. There were about 30 of us MDC youths present. At about 3am today, Wednesday 4th June, 2003 the front door of the Councillor’s house was forced open and a group of about 15 soldiers came into the house. They were dressed in camouflage uniform and 1 was in Police Riot blue uniform, and all carried AK 47 rifles and batons. They asked us why we were there, “you are the guys we want to see, you are MDC”. They told us to chant our slogans. At first we kept quiet, then we chanted the MDC slogans. One of our group was seen climbing under the bed and he was dragged out, the bed was then put up against the wall and we were made to lie on our stomachs and were beaten again with the baton and rifle butts. The soldiers were saying “ why do you want Mugabe to go, how much money are you being given, where is MADZORE (MDC MP for Glen View)?”. Afterwards they made us collect all the food and groceries in the house and carry them out to their Army lorry and a light blue Mazda 323. I did not recognise any of the soldiers but I did see ELLIOT MANYIKA MP with them. I sustained injuries to my back, right leg and arm and buttocks.

Sexual Violence during the Rwanda Genocide and its Aftermath, NEW YORK: HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH. As this report notes:” During the Second World War, some 200,000 Korean women were forcibly held in sexual slavery to the Japanese army. During the armed conflict in Bangladesh in 1971, it is estimated that 200,000 civilian women and girls were victims of rape committed by Pakistani soldiers. Mass rape of women has been used since the beginning of the conflict in the Former Yugoslavia. Throughout the Somali conflict beginning in 1991, rival ethnic factions have used rape against rival ethnic factions. During 1992 alone, 882 women were reportedly gang-raped by Indian security forces in Jammu and Kashmir. In Peru in 1982, rape of women by security forces was a common practice in the ongoing armed conflict between the Communist Party of Peru, the Shining Path, and government counterinsurgency forces. In Myanmar, in 1992, government troops raped women in a Rohingya Muslim village after the men had been inducted into forced labor. Under the former Haitian military regime of Lt. Gen. Raoul Cédras, rape was used as a tool of political repression against female activists or female relatives of opposition members”. xxiv See Amani (2002), Preliminary Report of a Survey on Internally Displaced Persons from Commercial Farms in Zimbabwe, HARARE: AMANI TRUST. xxv See Daily News, 16 April 2002, Women vow to expose sexually abusive political thugs ; see also Daily News, 5 December 2002, Women protest against abuse in Zanu PF camps xxvi These concerns have already been raised by Amnesty International.
